Lawton, OK - August 14, 2006 -
REASON #1      THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THAT A LEGAL SITUATION EXIST
 
Most people will have a legal situation and not realize it. If a person has any of the following, they have a potential legal situation:
 
They should definitely contact a lawyer if:
 
They are being sued
They are accused of a crime
They have been asked to make a statement to the police
They have been in a serious accident
They are considering a lawsuit, divorce, or bankruptcy
Someone in their family has died
They want to create or revise a will
They are buying or selling a home
They are starting a business
They have an unresolved dispute with a contractor
They are about to be audited by the IRS
They paid a bill they thought was unfair
They have questions about a legal situation
They have a contract that needs reviewing prior to signing
They are being harassed by creditors
They were cited for a traffic violation they thought was unjustified
They have an unresolved landlord/tenant dispute
 
REASON #2:       THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO TO CALL.
 
Most people do not know where to begin to find the legal help they need when a legal situation arises.They might have a friend or a relative who is a lawyer, but in many cases that person does not specialize in the area of law for their particular issue .  Many times it can be embarrassing to share problems with a friend or relative. Taking the guesswork out of selecting quality legal is a must. But where do you start? Many people have the desire to seek legal advice but do not have a clue who to contact.  This can be very frustrating especially when an ongoing problem seems to be getting worse..
 
REASON #3:       THEY ARE INTIMIDATED BY LAWYERS.
 
People are intimidated by big law firms and are concerned about finding quality advice from a lawyer without paying a fortune.   Many people may feel their legal questions or concerns are not important or urgent enough to warrant calling an attorney. However, most intimidation stems from a lack of knowledge about what lawyers do. Typical law firms do more than take criminal cases like those seen on television. They also review and create contracts, help write wills and assist people with planning their estate.
 
REASON #4:     THE COST
 
One of the biggest reasons people fail to seek legal advice is the cost of a lawyer. Agonizing over hundreds of dollars spent in a session just does not seem appealing, except to the lawyer.  Finding an affordable and quality lawyer is the first step in resolving family issues
legally. For some people, the problem seems to cost less if they just go ahead and pay, rather than hire an attorney to help resolve the issue. Most people faced with these problems will do one or two things; try to handle the problem themselves or ignore it altogether and hope it resolves itself. Neither is the right solution. Getting help early in a legal situation is like calling the fire department before the fire gets out of control.
 
THE SOLUTION:
 
Prepaid legal plans, often described as "legal insurance plans" are the solution. Unlike other insurance plans, prepaid legal plans provide a proactive approach as opposed to the reactive and negative residual effects of auto, life, health, and home insurance. There is nothing negative that needs to occur for a person to receive positive benefits from a prepaid legal plan. Prepaid legal plans help a person avoid personal and financial disaster by helping them practice preventative maintenance in potential legal situations; by finding out what their rights are. There are two kinds of legal services available: Postpaid and prepaid. Prepaid costs vary from $10 to $35 a month depending on coverage. Postpaid will cost a lot more. It pays to be proactive.
